Poem
AS I SIT HERE AND STEW: MY VOICES ARE ON CUE, RUNNING MY LIFE, AS THEY USUALLY DO. MY HEART TOOK A LEAP, AS THESE FREEKS, THEY DID CREEP AROUND THIS HOUSE IN MY HEAD. THEY’RE SO ENTERTAINING BUT, OH, SO PAINING AS THEY KEEP ME TRAPPED HERE INSTEAD. I JUST SIT AND I STEW, I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT MY HOUSEMATES ARE REALLY UP TO! THEY LAUGH AND THEY SNICKER, WHICH MAKES MY SKIN THICKER AS I CALL THEM MY TRUE FRIENDS. THE THINGS THEY DO… JUST TO GET A KICK OUT OF YOU IS REALLY QUITE FUNNY, I THOUGHT. Until they go Psycho As having a side show Was all they ever had planned. Now they are mine Left the Others Behind!, As they take up this space in my head. True Friends, I thought these voices were, I thought I had found true love, As they were Always there. But the things I do… ……..Just because they tell me to,……. Is really not funny at all. It hurts me Instead Of being my friends, These bastards are killing me softly. Now, as I say, My friends they do play My Friends……. they do play, On the playground: In the back of My Brain… For they are just kids Kids at heart With no big Story to tell, Just Looking for Someone to Listen and Give Props, To them, This is Cool,: a fantasy life. They were looking for me: A Fantasy wife!! Someone who married, for pretend. That’s where our heart met ~ they’re souls and mine, In a fantasy world of Unicorns and talking penguins. Oh, can’t forget the Cartoon Giraffes!! They Laugh and they snicker And they play who’s quicker At making the other one Dance. As it’s really quite weird, And so very Intriguing That in any time, They won’t be fleeing…. Now it’s time, I really must go Before they realize they can No Longer Hide here, it’s not safe anymore in my head. I must settle me down, Time can Only tell What these meds will do To settle my Voices too. StarHeart Jones-Jacobs-BKA Jessica Peets, 2014
